A Smashing development.
This is my first fan-fiction so please don't mind me here! Anyway, this story is mostly in Ike's and Link's POV but I'll tell you all if it changes, okay? Please excuse me with my randomness as well!
Summary: Ike is the newest face in the Smash Bros. Mansion and he meets a new friend named Link. They become closer and when an old friend/rival reappears he seems to bring more trouble than necessary. Join Link and Ike as they face different problems caused by so many different people.
Pairings: Main: Ike x Link. Hints of Marth liking Link. (I'll add in the others when I figure it out!)
Warnings: There is going to be quite a bit of Yaoi-ness (Ok maybe a lot), a lot of fighting, drama and creepy/shady evil characters trying to ruin everything! Slight OOCness maybe and Roy! Yay!
Disclaimer: Do I really have to start doing this every time I write a chapter!? I Don't Want Too! Go away! Link you do it! TT^TT
Link: ….eep…
Ike: -sighs- Fine then! Lyco does not own us because if she did that would be bad! Nintendo owns us and she only owns this story… Link hurry up and speak!
Link: It starts as a normal POV…
"Are you sure you're ready to join right now? Of all times, now?" A short blue haired prince was quietly questioning his taller, warrior friend. The blue cape that the prince wore was fluttering in the wind gracefully while the red bandana wrapped around the mercenaries blue hair was leaving a short trail in the air. He moved the bag that was on his shoulder around as it was becoming uncomfortable.
"Marth… You know I want to join. All of the fights that I've seen have been so mesmerising and they energize me in so many ways possible!" The taller of the two clenched his fist and brought them into his chest, promising himself to end up as one of the top fighters.
"Fine then…" The prince known as Marth let out a small sigh before continuing with their previous conversation, "Do Not! I Repeat DO NOT! Underestimate any of the fighter's in this mansion. If you mess with any of them I assure you that you will be in for a whole lot of pain Ike…" The taller mercenary known as Ike just nodded his head as he strolled down the forest path with his friend.
In the slight distance a tall, white building could be seen. It was surrounded by lush greenery and plenty of spaces which could be used for training, whenever it's needed. Ike looked around in awe while Marth chuckled quietly to himself. This was the Smash Bros. Mansion he had heard about.
"WAHAHAHA!" Ike's concentration (His Daydreaming) was broken by the loud sound of laughing and… Wait… Was that the sound of a roar!? Marth turned his head to the two doors and charged forward, leaving Ike to follow after, hopefully not getting lost.
Marth turned around the corner's quickly as he raced towards the sound of laughter. If he was right, then that first laugh was Wario and that roar must have been Bowser…
"Marth!? What's happening!?" Ike was yelling after the agile prince who was gaining distance over the sluggish warrior.
"I'll explain it when we get there! But for now, we're headed for the cafeteria to find out what's wrong! Hurry up!" The young prince dashed forwards and found the doors leading to the cafeteria. He stopped quickly and waited for his companion to catch up. When said companion finally showed up, he was completely out of breathe and was in need of a break. The two stood side by side and opened the doors to see something that one wasn't expecting.
There was a small pink blob wearing a chef's hat and stirring a giant golden pot while he stood on the rim of it, and there were also people and creatures surrounding it looking worried and some were actually laughing at a table. The small pink blob was quickly adding in salt and pepper and was being accompanied by another small pink object singing to help lighten the mood. People were growing drowsy and others were banging the giant pot asking if something was alright.
"KIRBY WARP-STAR! STOP MIXING AND LET WHOEVER IS MISSING GO!" Marth yelled at the blob who quickly snapped out of it and jumped down from the rim of the pot. As it jumped down, the pot suddenly disappeared into the air and the contents that were inside came flying in every direction. Ike dropped his bag and looked in surprise at what he had just witnessed.
"Link!" A group of fighter's yelled out as something went flying into not something. Someone. This someone wasn't expecting this because when he sensed it, he caught the body in his arms and stumbled backwards a little bit.
Ike's POV
First there was a pink blob cooking things. Now there's something green flying my way!? What the hell! Wait… That looks like a person? Glad I dropped my bag, I reached my arms out and wrapped them around the flying body, hopefully protecting the green object from hurting itself. I stumbled back slightly and lost my balance quickly, falling onto the ground with a body on top of my own.
"Link!" A high-pitched voice came rushing towards me as I rubbed the back of my head, looking down at what this green object was. It was swaying slightly and it looked like a hat?
"Let go of him at once!" The high-pitched voice was back and it sounded demanding this time. I moved my head to look at the source of the voice but I was surprised to see a short girl with brown hair and princess attire standing in front of me. Her gloved hands were on her hips as her Brown hair moved with her movements and showed off her elf ears?
A soft moan came from the bundle of green as it tried to move but failed in doing so because of my pressure on holding him. The elf girl was irritated by me ignoring her obviously because she launched some sort of magic attack at me which barely missed me.
"Hurry up and let go of Link!" The girl yelled another order at me again this time encircling herself with her own magic and quickly being swapped with some blonde assassin looking guy in blue!? What the hell is this!? I lowered my head to see the softest pair of blue eyes looking up at me. A small tint of red staining his white face and his dirty blonde hair, showing off his face perfectly. He had the same elf-like ears as the stuck-up princess but he had a small blue piercing in his small elven ears.
"Are you Okay there?" I asked the small elven boy who quickly nodded his head with his large cap rubbing against my chest. I noticed the assassin was holding needles for some reason and I quickly understood why when they got thrown near my head!
"S-Sheik!" The small elven boy quickly spoke up after noticing the needles being flown and landing next to us.
"Hmph." The figure who was clad in blue quickly changed back into a princess who was glaring at me even more. I preferred not being able to see both eyes trying to burn a hole into my bandanna
"Ike! Thank smash that you caught him…" Marth came running up to me and quickly pulled me up, bringing the elf boy up with me. I let him go and he was quickly taken a hold of by the demanding princess.
"Zelda, this is Ike. The new brawler I mentioned about bringing back with me." The princess looked me up and down and smirked to herself before giving a curtsey and smiling as if nothing ever happened.
"Everyone!" Marth dragged me up to the top of an empty table and smiled at everyone sitting in the cafeteria. "This is Ike! The new combatant who has joined us all in the Brawl! Please take care of him and show him around everyone!" The room was filled with cheers as people were going back to talking in their small groups of friends. I heard Marth chuckle as he jumped down from the table and held his hand out to a strange looking, yellow, rat creature.
"Hey!" I noticed the elven boy waving an arm at me with a bright smile on his face. I walked over to him and noticed that he was still slightly wet from the pot fiasco.
"My name's Link. Thanks for helping me back there." He smiled at me again and signalled for all of his friends to come forward. There were two young boys who looked similar to each other and that strange yellow thing was back as well. The princess was back and she brought a person clad in armour. I looked at the suited figure wondering if it's a girl or boy but turned my attention back to the elf.
"Zelda." The girl stuck out her hand and 'smiled' at me. As I took her hand in my own and shook it, I felt the little zap of magic she put into it. "Charmed to meet you Ike. Link and I come from the land of Hyrule. The land that I am ruler of. Link is my hero and he has saved me from Ganondorf who sits over there." She pointed to a tall man with red hair who sat with a lizard and a bunch of other evil looking characters.
"Anyway! This is Samus," Link pointed to the person in the armor, "These two boys are Ness and Lucas. Lucas is the blonde boy and Ness is the one with the red cap." This time Zelda pointed at the two young boys who were waving at me with childish grins on their faces. "Pika Pika!" The small rat thing was tugging on Link's pants as it wanted attention for once. "This is Pikachu!" Link picked up the small creature and hugged it close to his chest.
"Nice to meet you all… I-I look forward to…fighting with you all?" I probably looked confused at this moment because I saw the small group 'giggle' to themselves. Link noticed the worried look I had and smiled before saying eight simple words.
"I look forward to fighting you as well." The whole cafeteria looked at us in shock. Was it strange to say something like this? Was I acting out of character? What did I do! God I hate being New!
.Normal POV.
The Young hylian hero was still smiling at the taller mercenary who was chatting with the whole group, ignoring the staring and glaring being directed towards them all. A loud cough sounded through the air as a younger blue haired prince strolled forwards. His hands on his hips and a small pout on his royal face.
"How come he gets all the attention Link?" Another small pout came upon his features and he continued to ramble on about being busy and always having to organize things. Link quickly and quietly walked away from the prince leaving him to himself.
"Oy, Marth, Where are things in this place?" The taller mercenary walked over with Pikachu in his arms. It seems that the rat Pokémon has come to like someone and so did that someone.
"Ummm….Link," The nearby hylian walked over to the two blue-haired men and smiled warmly at them both before listening to the rest of the conversation, "I need you to show Ike around the mansion and explain the way it works. He'll be staying in the room next to yours since it's free." With a nod of his head, he turned his attention to Ike and smiled brightly at him before grabbing his bag then his arm and dragging him outside.
.Zelda POV.
Why was Link put in charge of the guy who was hugging MY hero? Why was link acting so strange around this guy? Why is Ganondorf stalking and watching Link very closely these days too!? Link has never told anyone that he's looking forward to fighting them because he's one of the top fighters. No-one knows the rankings except for the top ones and none of them actually care about who they fight except for link.
I watched as Ganondorf got up from his seat and walked towards the cafeteria doors, leaving the premises and checking both ways to find out where Link went.
I will protect him this time… From pain, suffering and love…
.Ike's POV.
"So Link…" He turned his head towards me as we continued walking down the hallway which had rooms with different numbers on them. "What room are we in?" His face looked shocked at how I said my question for some reason.
"We aren't sharing a room, you're next door to me. I'm in room 202 and you're in room 201, Marth is in room 203 but since he's in charge of organizing most of what happens, he's never really there. He's fun to fight though! Most of the people here are fun to fight! It may seem quiet at the moment but that's because people are out on holiday visiting their hometowns!" I looked at the little hylian boy and smiled softly at him, ruffling his hair at the same time.
"Thanks Link. I'll count on you to take me around everywhere until I get used to it." He blushed slightly and at the moment I thought he was adorable. His creamy face tinted with shades of red and his beautiful blue-eyes looking down at the ground as his eyelashes covered some of his blue eyes. He was adorable as hell…
"O-Okay then…" His blush intensified but he still looked up at me and smiled brightly. I can't see hoe a boy so nice and gentle can be a fighter…. I noticed the shield and sword on his back and studied them both. The shield was shining and in top shape so he obviously repairs it and cleans it up after each fight. His sword was average length and it looked easy to wield.
"Um… Ike," I looked at him and he had moved to stand by some steps, leading upstairs.
"What's wrong?" He looked at me as I continued walking towards him. He suddenly panicked and put a finger to his lips. His pink, plush lips… What if they were bruise- NO IKE! HE'S HELPING YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU ONLY JUST MET HIM YOU CRAZY MAN! I mentally slapped myself and looked at him curious as to what was happening. When he noticed my confusion he ushered for me to move closer which I happily did. We could hear the sound of heavy breathing and a large amount of panting. Link had started to look at me, confused for some reason. I just stood there blushing like crazy, I need to leave now!
"You can show me my room later. I think that they need some privacy." I quietly whispered into his pointy ear and he nodded his head in agreement. I watched as he grabbed my arm and dragged me outside to the training ground as he calls it. I sat on the ground and he looked at me in confusion again.
"Are you tired Ike?" I chuckled at the notion of a new fighter being tired. Wouldn't they be racing with excitement?
"Of course not. I just want to relax for a while."
"I can take you to my secret resting spot then!" He cheered happily and quickly ran off towards the forest area. There were targets painted onto the trees and many knives and needles stuck into them and I also noticed that Link had started to slow down and fall onto the soft grass beneath us. I ran up to his body and caught him, worried that he may have fainted.
"I-Ike!" He was caught off guard by me catching him and he started to blush again. He was still adorable for some reason. I slowly placed him on the ground and plopped down next to him with my hands resting behind my head.
"Hey Link, why did you look confused at the steps? I'm sure you knew what was happening right?" He moved his head towards me and quietly answered my question.
"Wasn't the person breathing heavy because they were wounded and needed rest? I wanted us to make sure we could let them get some rest so I wanted us to be quiet. Isn't that what was happening?" I looked at him and face-palmed myself. Was he really that innocent to not know they were having sex in that room?!
"Link, I think they were," Man this was awkward… "Making love…" Oh god please shoot me for that… I'm sure he understands now though.
"But they were both males? Is that possible to do that with another male? I know they can Love each other but doing that with another male?" His innocence was killing me. Oh god. It was adorable yet embarrassing.
"It is possible Link. You may or may not find out. Isn't anything like this often in Hyrule?" He shook his head at me and still smiled at me softly. I looked at him and smiled before I noticed that sound of something hitting a nearby tree. I jolted up and grabbed my sword, an everyday reaction to the sounds of any danger. Link covered his ears at the sound of the bark of the tree being hit. He was surprised by how loud and close it was to him as it lodged itself into the nearest tree.
"Link, shall we head off to the stairs and go drop my bag off in my room?" He just nodded his head at me and picked my bag back up. I noticed his struggle to pick it up so I went and grabbed it, ruffling his hair in thanks for carrying it here. My bad was filled with weights, clothing and a few other random items that I'd need. I slung the bag over my shoulder and walked next to link, who was happily chatting about the training grounds.
"There are sandbags to do some practice on your strength, Target practice to practice your aim and skill when we have monthly tests on our skill level and there's a special room which is filled with holograms that you fight against. Oh! There's the pool which just opened up too! We go there when we need to relax and such!" I noticed that when talking about the mansion, Link always seems excited.
"Is there a bath house too then?" I queried, He nodded his head and I heard him chuckle a little.
"Oh! Where at the stairs now!" I walked with Link to my right up the stairs and we continued to chat about things.
"Okay, so we're on the second floor which means we get a nice view. Most of the top fighters live up on this floor and most of the middle fighters do as well. Our rooms are actually pretty close to the stairs but since we have a cleaning supplies closet we get moved away from them slightly." He led me to a room with a number 201 written on its door. I looked at the room next to me with the number 200 written on it.
"Link, who lives in room 200?" He looked at me and smiled softly before checking his surroundings.
"Room 200 has been empty since Marth moved into room 203. Our friend Roy used to live in your new room but then he left," He looked at the ground sadly and I think I saw a small tear form in his eyes, "We think he's coming back to us because he said so! He can live next door to you and we can become the best team of four ever!" His eyes started to shine and sparkle and I only then just learnt how strong he is.
"Wait… I don't have the room key! How am I going to get inside!?Oh god I don't want to" Link started to laugh loudly as he fell onto the floor clutching his sides. I tilted my head at his crazy antics and when he stood up, he reached into his tunic and pulled out a chained necklace which had two small keys on it. He pulled off the necklace and took one of the keys off of the chain.
"Here you go. Marth gave me the key a week ago when he told me we were getting someone new." I looked at him with a small frown on my face as I snatched the key from him. He poked out his tongue at me and opened his door slowly.
"I'll be out soon, I'm just going to get a change of clothing. I'll show you around the rest of the area soon." I watched as he scampered off into his room and I could hear him humming through the wall.
I just walked into my room and dropped my bag on the white couch they had given in the room.
"Wow…" Was the only word I could say to describe my new room at the moment. The room was filled with everything needed, a large bed, a kitchen Table, chairs, a couch and even a TV. It was wonderful, the blue carpet and white wallpaper looked ok as well. I plopped down on the soft couch and went through my bag, looking at the spare clothes I brought. Most of them was what I was wearing now, the others were things like a pair of navy blue jeans and a normal top.
I decided to just wear my black jeans and a short-sleeved black and red striped shirt. I chucked on some red lace-ups and headed out of my room, locking the door and tucking the key into my pocket. Where's Link? I looked around and guessed that he was still in his room. I knocked on his door and heard him call out from inside to come inside.
"Hey Ike! I'll just be a few seconds!" I heard his voice from what I'm guessing was the bathroom since his voice echoed throughout the room.
"I'll just wait for you on you couch then!" I yelled out to him and I heard him agree to the 'plan'. I let a soft chuckle escape my lips and I inspected the room. It was identical to mine but Link had decorated his up. It looked nice either way. I heard the door click open and I turned my head to see Link walking out in light brown jeans and a green and black checker top. His green hat wasn't there and he was carrying his neatly folded clothes in his arm.
"Hey Ike. Sorry for taking so long when we're supposed to be touring the mansion." I shook my head at him and just smiled brightly at him. His hair was wet and a dark-blond color. It suited him perfectly. He grabbed some green lace-ups and put them on before jumping up behind me and asking if I wanted to go.
"Of course. Why did I come here in the first place?" I stood up and smirked at Link as he walked towards his door and kept it open for me. I stepped outside and watched as he took out the key and locked his door, tucking the necklace back into his top. He turned around and smiled brightly at me. Leading me to the hallway where we took a left and headed into what looked like a locker room.
"This is the room where the people who are about to fight prepare. Take a look at that board over there. He pointed towards a whiteboard that was hanging up on the wall, it was decorated with photos of different fighters, and Link was one of them. "That is the board which shows who's fighting who when the battle tournament is on at the end of the week. Some of the fighters get two maybe three fights a week sometimes more depending on their rank." He looked at the board and smiled to himself when he noticed his picture on it.
"You will get a test soon to measure your skill and if it is high, then they will put you in one of the ranking matches. If its medium they will see which set you belong too. I'll be helping you for a while and stuff like that." This was going to be confusing but hopefully I can get to be in the high ranking group.
"Link, What rank are you in?" Link turned his head to me and replied, "I'm in the top squad. One of the top ten fighters in the mansion. The fight I'm in tomorrow is one for the top-ranks. Most people don't watch them because it's just a fun match but I want you to see it. It'll be good for you to see how it works and also I really just want some more support." He smiled brightly at me and I just stood there in shock.
"So I have to make it into the top 10 huh?" He looked at me and was trying to comprehend what I just said so I told him again. He looked at me and gave me a soft smile.
"I'll be waiting for that day Ike." His head was tilted to the side and he smiled at me. It seemed different and looked like he was about to cry. I then did the one thing I wasn't expecting to do.
I hugged him.
